Dwight didn’t respond .
Halsey watched him , noticing how his freshly washed , short hair was still damp , his black T – shirt and pants giving him a more youthful , handsome vibe .
He was an excellent cook , his skills honed from a young age . A man who could cook was undeniably more attractive .
The more Halsey looked at him , the more she found herself drawn to him . “ Dwight , why aren’t you talking to me ? If you keep ignoring me , I might just have to tickle you . ”
Without warning , she reached out and tickled him .
Her soft little hands landed on his toned waist , sending a tingly sensation through him .
Dwight quickly caught both of her flailing wrists with one hand and pushed her firmly against the wall . “ What are you doing ? Stop it . ”
Halsey struggled , trying to pull her hands free . “ Why are you being so mean ? ”
Dwight didn’t let go .
Halsey stood on her tiptoes and quickly kissed him on the lips .
Dwight froze for a moment .
Seeing that he didn’t resist , Halsey grew bolder and leaned in again , kissing him with more confidence .
As their lips met , Dwight’s senses were overwhelmed with the sweet , soft scent of her – so different from the soap he used . Her fragrance was a mix of high – end floral notes , as if she were wrapped in the luxury of expensive perfumes .
Dwight finally released her wrists .
Halsey wrapped her arms around his waist , coaxing his mouth open as she deepened the kiss .
He was cold , distant , and often detached , but when she kissed him , his body heat was undeniable . Halsey couldn’t help but love the feeling of kissing him .
As their kiss continued , Dwight’s body , which had started to calm down , once again became feverish
Just then , Tina’s voice rang out from the other room . “ Smells like something’s burning . ”
Tina hurried into the kitchen . “ Dwight , did you burn the food ? ”
Tina , unable to see , had entered without knocking , since this was her home .
Halsey , startled , quickly pushed Dwight away , her face turning bright red .
Dwight , with his cool , almost unreadable expression , immediately turned off the stove . “ I forgot to turn off the heat . It’s fine . “ .
Tina chuckled gently . “ Well , be careful . “ ,
Halsey quickly added , “ Mrs. Garner , we were talking , and I think he lost track of time . ”
Tina smiled warmly . “ That’s alright . You two continue . I’ll step outside for now . ”

Once Tina left , Halsey felt the tension in the air , an awkwardness lingering between them . She glanced at Dwight and couldn’t help but notice that his ears had turned red .
He was blushing !
Halsey was surprised . “ Are you blushing ? ”
Dwight quickly denied it . “ No. ”
Halsey smirked . “ You’re definitely blushing ! Don’t try to hide it . ”
Dwight gave her a look . “ Get out . ”
“ I don’t want to leave . I want to stay with you ! ”
Halsey wrapped her arms around Dwight from behind .
She was soft and warm , pressing herself against him . Dwight stiffened . “ Aren’t you embarrassed , throwing yourself at me ? ”
Halsey laughed . “ Why should I be embarrassed ? ”
Dwight raised an eyebrow but didn’t answer .
Halsey grinned . “ You’re my boyfriend , aren’t you ? Isn’t that what couples do ? Kiss , hug , spend time together ? I’m not embarrassed !!!
Dwight raised an eyebrow . “ Who said I’m your boyfriend ? ”
“ But you are ! ”
“ I never agreed to that ! ”
“ Well , I kissed you , and you didn’t reject me . Not once ! I keep kissing you , and you keep accepting it . I’m sure you’re into me too ! ”
Dwight smirked . “ Well , you offered yourself , and I’m single – what if I’m just taking advantage of you ? ”
“ So , you’re saying you’re a jerk ? If that’s the case , then fine Be a jerk . Come on . Do your worst . ”
Halsey knew he wasn’t a jerk .
Dwight had no response .
Just then , Warren Thorpe , Dwight’s friend who always followed him around , entered the room .
“ Dwight … Holy crap , where did this stunner come from ? ”
